Who is Anzens?

Overview

Core Offerings

1. USDA: Cardano-Native Stablecoin

• USDA is a fully-backed, USD-pegged stablecoin native to Cardano, issued by Anzens Inc.
• Built in partnership with EMURGO (Cardano’s commercial arm) and BitGo Trust (a regulated digital asset custodian).
• Emphasizes security and regulatory compliance, using segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts for user funds—contrasting with the pooled accounts model common in other stablecoins234.
• Aimed at real-world use cases such as international remittances (with off-ramps in 80+ countries), DeFi, stable treasury management, and global payroll.
• USDA is currently live on Cardano’s Minswap DEX and directly mintable by eligible users in 14 U.S. states25.

2. Platform Features and Adoption

• Anzens has created a user-friendly mint/burn experience, with wallet integrations (currently Yoroi Wallet is supported) and guidance for navigating Cardano’s UTXO transaction model2.
• Partnerships with BitGo, EncrypTUS, and Yoy Wallet extend USDA’s custodial security and off-ramp capabilities43.
• Significant DeFi and payments integrations, such as cashback with Yoroi Wallet and adoption efforts targeting global remittances and financial inclusion5.

3. Regulatory Commitment

• Anzens is FinCEN-registered and implements rigorous KYC/AML, aiming to bridge digital assets and traditional finance while satisfying regulatory demands in multiple jurisdictions24.

Other Initiatives: USDz and Multichain Expansion

• USDz: Anzens also operates “Anzen Finance,” which issues a multichain stablecoin (USDz) backed by a diversified institutional-grade portfolio (including private credit), available on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and more67.
  • USDz is notable for pursuing “real yields” and ecosystem rewards, eschewing unsustainable, circular yield models.
  • ANZ is the governance and utility token of the USDz ecosystem, using a “vote-escrowed” (ve) tokenomics model to reward long-term commitment and enable decentralized governance68.
• The company is expanding into new blockchains, asset types (including other fiat currencies and commodities), and products that serve both retail and institutional DeFi users7.
